I need to put my TINI Board into an enclosure. Has anyone located a source of a box (plastic package) with suitable mounting posts and cut-outs for the connectors?

Systronix (http://www.systronix.com/) has cases that include power and
serial pass-through ports (for example, the serial ports have
female DB9's on the outside and male DB9's on short ribbon
cables going to the inside). These cases also have cutout panels
for 10-key keyboards and LCD displays. They're very, very good for
the money. Note that Systronics own STEP, a socket board for TINI,
is too big for these cases (I've tried it). But Systronix says that
the case will work with their smaller TINI socket boards, and with
DalSemi socket boards.

The keyboards and LCD displays available from Systronix have
SBX-bus compatible interfaces, and Systronix's boards have SBX
sockets on them. They aren't directly pluggable -- i.e., you
can't plug the LCD connector into the Systronix board's SBX
socket -- but Systronix has adapters available, and in June they're
coming out with a slick little electronics driver board that
provides electrical isolation between the TINI and external
SBX peripherals. This board will solve a lot of TINI peripheral
driving problems. TINI is great at 1-WIRE and CAN, but its fanout
for driving other TTL loads is limited and makes the board unstable.
